    Traveled from the border at San Ysidro/Tijuana to Los Angeles yesterday. A month ago, booked at 11:10 am departure scheduled to arrive at 3 pm. It was rescheduled twice and finally changed to a 12:45 pm departure. Bus driver arrived about 20 minutes late. Told passengers that they could sit anywhere, much to the disgruntlement of the few who paid extra to book a specific seat. Bus didn't get to Union Station until after 6 pm. She actually spent an hour driving surface streets from Huntington Beach to Long Beach. About 15 miles in heavy boulevard traffic. Claimed it was somehow faster than the freeway. What a nightmare. Flixbus' prices rise constantly. Same trip was half the price as recently as last year. It's getting more and more expensive as the quality of the ride decreases.

    • @babetravelling
      @babetravelling  Před rokem +2

      That was a nightmare story. Recently I tried greyhound using the same route but I stepped out of SD downtown. It arrived on time but was a few minutes late arrival. Didn’t think of it… I’m sorry you had to go through that. Thanks for sharing & glad u r safe on ur travels 🥰

    Things 2 consider bee4 and after choosing yur seet:
    1. Sit in the middle (gangstas and thugs, and hoes mostly in da back) if u in head on crash likely survivor also.
    2. Make sure your outlet works ASAP.
    3. Try not to eat or drink if you can help it so you aren't forced to use da tiny and smelly Restroom. If you have to go try to hold it til a stop so you don't bounce around.
    4. As soon as you pick your seat, recline all da way before someone sits behind and you don't have to ask for their permission.
    5. If whacko sits behinds you, (ie canadian greyhound decap.) move don't give them your back if you can help it.

    Former USMC. I traveled in the past it was ok. I like the assigned seats. But the BUS STATION IN TAMPA, FL IS UNDER A BRIDGE. Bus drivers that stopped there didn't give a SHI* about answering costumer's questions. That's what our money is worth and our value and our safety. I took a trip to Knoxville TN. In Atlanta our trip was canceled after being there 9 hours with bus 0105 canceled 2xs. They offered a Voucher or Reassigned your route for another time. HOW convenient as a smart A** remark. NEVER AGAIN SAVE YOUR MONEY AND TAKE A SAFER ROUTE.
